FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The use of hemp paper to manufacture bags or newsprint.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Hemp is a source of fiber that comes from the plant species Cannabissativa. Hemp can be produced much faster than trees. Hemp stalks grow infour months, whereas trees can take twenty to eighty years. One acre ofhemp can yield 1,300 pounds of fiber and produce as much paper as fourto ten acres of trees over a twenty year cycle. Unlike trees, hempplants can be grown without using any pesticides or herbicides. Thewider use of hemp plants can reduce deforestation.

The hemp-growing industry is regulated throughout the United States.Recent regulations have sought to encourage this nascent industry asbiodegradable hemp raw materials can be turned into biodegradablehemp-based products such as hemp paper. Biodegradable hemp productsbreak down in approximately 90 days versus the dozens of years it takespetroleum-based plastics to break down into microplastics thatfrequently end up in the ocean.

Hemp plant stalks have two parts. The bast fibers, or outer part of thestalk have a grassy texture and typically contain almost 80% cellulose.The hurd, or inner part of the stalk, has a woody core made up ofcellulose-laden bundles of short fiber. The process of separating thebast fiber from the hurd fiber is called decortication. To facilitatedecortication, dew retting or water rating is typically done first.Retting uses bacteria and moisture to dissolve away the gummy substancesthat surround bast fiber bundles.

Hemp paper is a plant based, non-toxic, sustainable alternative toconventional paper made from trees. Hemp paper is primarily made fromthe bast fibers of hemp plants. Hemp paper has a low lignin and highcellulose content. Hemp paper does not age or discolor with time. Thequality of hemp paper is better than that of paper made from the woodpulp of trees. Hemp paper is thin, and lightweight, with a high degreeof stiffness. Hemp paper is tough, brittle and rough. Wood pulp paper issofter and thicker than hemp paper. Hemp paper is more difficult to makeand is stronger than wood pulp paper. Hemp paper can be recycled up toeight times, compared to just three times for paper made from wood pulp.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,080,702 relates to a disposable two-ply filter for avacuum cleaner bag, wherein the outer ply may be wood paper, hemp paperor any other filter paper, cloth or fabric well known in the art.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,700,599 relates to a high absorption rate batteryseparator of a non-woven cellulosic substrate coated on at least onesurface with a cellulosic film and a process for making such separatorby contacting a nonwoven cellulosic textile substrate with a celluloseor cellulose derivative solution on at least one side of the substrate.Preferred nonwovens are paper webs such as hemp paper bonded withhydrogen bonds, cellulose or food grade binders.

U.S. Pat. No. 7,537,514 relates to a double casing with netting for foodproducts, wherein the material of the tube comprises a combination ofmaterials selected from the group consisting of edible collagen ofbovine or porcine origin, inedible collagen, regenerated collagen,regenerated or fibrous collagen, plastic material, hemp paper, any typeof paper, and a polysaccharide.

U.S. Pat. No. 7,666,484 relates to a ready to use food packaging film,wherein in one embodiment the film is made out of hemp paper.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,744,251 relates to a cellulosic composition and article.Fibrous casing made in the casing industry is produced by coatingregenerated cellulose onto a sheet or tube of hemp paper.

US patent publication 20190280135 relates to a room temperature printingmethod for producing a PV layer sequence. The process is characterizedin that the carrier used for the PV layer sequence comprises continuous,flat sheets of material, preferably sheets of film and/or sheets ofpaper, more preferably sheets of hemp paper. Hemp offers the advantagethat it can be manufactured in a sulfate-free manner; provided withadditional moisture inhibitor and/or biocide, such as hemp paper canadvantageously withstand high temperatures without yellowing orsignificant mechanical degradation or any decline in its properties.
